CHICAGO, August 3l.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BEE. E.I-CATTLE-Recelpts of native
cattle to-day were much larger than was
generally expected, IN fact the weeks run is
q surprise to most people. 1t can be ac-
counted for partly on account of the sharp
advance that has taken place in the past five
or six weeks, but one of the main reasons for
the big run this week Is the fact that many
cattle are compelled to be marketed on Sep
tember contracts. There are some sections
where feeders are still compelled to haul
water for miles and of course men in that fix
who have contracted their cattle for Septem-
Der will let them 60 as soon as possible.
The market to-day was slow and weaker and
prices we're 1Uc lower than yesterday and 100
l5c lower than on Monday, the decline being
on nearly all kinds. A good many
coarse and thin cattle were unsold
at late hour. Prices for cattle
are not much different from one week
ago to-day. There was a comparatively
light demand for heavy cattle yesterday and
to-day. AS supplies have been large and the
foreign market has gone of considerably,
buyers this week have been more easily sup
piled than for several days past. Shippers
and exporters bought quite lightly to-day.

Cardinal Gibbons, Report.
REJOICING AMONG KNIGHTS OF LABOR-NO BEARING
ON THE MGLYNN CASE.


ON THE MGLYNN CASE.
The New York Mail and Express says Cardinal
Gibbons favorable report to Pope Leo as to the
aims and standing Of the Knights OF Labor, which
isSet forth in cable dispatches from Rome is re-
ceived with much rejoicing by the Knights in
New York city and elsewhere. 1t had been
thought by many OF the leading knights that the
McGlynn controversy and the attacks made by
Henry George On the church would have preju-
diced the authorities at Rome against the order,
and this Tear was aggravated by the fact that Car
dlnal TaSchereau, who sailed in company with the
American cardinal, had announced his intention
TO endeavor TO influence Rome through 1t in his
fight with the Canadian knights. The position
taken by Cardinal Gibbons will settle the whole
matter. He is an especial favOrite with the
pope, and his advice as to the treatment OF
any matter in which the United states
is concerned will, it is declared, be
taken as 1T is given. In addition, Bishop
keane, OF Richmond, and Bishop Ireland, Of ST.
Paul, who are both friendly to the knights, and are
gresSiye element in the American hierarchy, are
with Cardinal Gibbons to support him in the posi-
ton Which he takes. Cardinal Gibbons Is in posi-
ton to speak more intelligenty OF the principles

with Master Orkman POwderly, whom he regards
as IL deyOut and conservative Catholic. His pres
ent position is the result OF his Investigation 1t
said in clerical circles that the knights had power

Gibbons has no bearing whatever on the McGlynn

Powerful Explosives.

From the New York Herald.
Several destructive agents have recently been
discovered. The most powerful is said to be me
Unite, the new French explosive. Strange to say,
it has long been used in liquid form as a tincture
but it is only lately that its explosive powers
have been discovered-by NJ. Turpin. When pre-
pared as an explosive it resembles small crystals
similar to those OF chlOrate OF potash, only little
finer, and OF handsome yellow color. To the
touch 1t feels like fine SeaShore sand Its fabrtca.
ton and manipulation are not attended with any
danger. 1t is not liable to explosion by shock
and II fire is applied to it 1t will only burn slowly
when in the open air, but in its compressed form
Its power SURPRISES ANYTHING yet known: An or.
binary siege prOect1e charged with II will spread
destruction over forty cubic metres. Neither fort
nor ironclad Is proof against its force. The pro-
ect1e with which 1t Is to be used Is provided with
a long and sharp point, which penetrates the OBJ
Ject against which it is hurled, and then only does
the explosion take place.
There are also other powerful explosives which
are likely to play an important role in future
wars. One is panclastite <also invented by NJ.
quence OF the inventor having published its COM
ponent parts and bellite The first is thirty
five times more powerful than gunpOwder; the
second seventy times and melinite one hundred
times.
Germany has another explosive for which WON
derS are clatmed-rObur1te. 1t was invented by
DR.. Root, German chemist OF Berlin. Its man.
ufacture Is said to be COSTLY and it is liable to be
spoiled by humidity. Neither friction nor shock
ported. It's explosion is caused by excessive heat
produced by Illuminate capsules, with which the
new German shell Is provided II Is said not TO be
as renaple as mennlte, however.

FIVE TINES MURDERER-HIS LATEST VICTIM YOUNG
GIRL WHO WOULD NOT MARRY HIN.
The poisoning OF another woman making five I'm
all, is alleged against Lawrence krug, who lies in
the county Jail at Chicago suspected OF murder
ing three wives and a stepdaughter. The sup
posed fifth victim is Gunda Schoephner pretty
l9-year-old daughter OF krug's first wife's sister,
After much consultation Gunda's friends and
relatives yesterday decided to ask an investiga-
ton by the county physician. According 70 their
statements Gunda was close companion
or her unfortunate cousin, Lucy Heidei-
meyer. the stepdaughter, whose death caused
the arrest of krug. AT the funerals which at
tended KrugS successive wfdOwhOOdS
Gunda was present as befltted near relative.
Each time she, like Lucy Heideimeyer was
shocked by proposals of marriage from Krug, even
before the services for the dead were completed.
The proposals were made in the presence OF nu-
merous witnesses. After the first advances Gunda
made no effort TO conceal her aversion to Krug,
but continued to maintain her cOmpaniOnship
with Lucy. About the time Of Lucy's death
number OF weeks ago Gunda fell I'LL with similar
complaint, and although given the best medical
aid the mysterious aiimenC Is yet uncOnuuered.
While she has rallied somewhat during the past
few days the girl is in critical condition. Her
friends express the belief that Krug poisoned her
out OF pure malignancy in revenge for the undis-
guised contempt with which She treated him.
Krug's other four victims had assigned their life
insurance 10 him, but In Gundas case no merce-
nary motive is apparent. Dr. Geifeldt, who has
been in attendance upon Gunda, declines to talk
upon the matter.
